5 Question Friday With Mama M. (6/25)

I'm going to take about 5 minutes to participate in Mama M.'s Five Question Friday.  The questions are pretty easy ones for me today, so it shouldn't take me long.  Yay for five minutes at lunchtime!  :)

1. Do you know how to play a musical instrument?
Yes.  In elementary school, I learned how to play the trumpet, and played that off and on through my sophomore year of college.  My sophomore year of high school, I started playing the mellophone and french horn, and also played that off and on through my second year of college.

I was a band geek.  And I loved it.

2. What is your pet peeve while driving?
Only one?  Wow.  Actually, that one is a hard one for me...to choose only one.  See, I am not a patient driver.  Probably because I'm so often running late, I don't have the time to be patient.  Not, of course, that it makes a difference at all to get impatient about it...but I still do, anyway.

Let's see...

• Situation #1:  People who sit in the passing lane right beside a vehicle in the other lane, so you're stuck behind them BOTH.  Often, one or both of the offending vehicles is a semi.
• Situation #2:  Semi drivers who think, for whatever reason they can pass that other semi that's going slowly just as they get on a hill.  Inevitably, Situation #1 occurs.
• Situation #3:  People who ignore the speed limit and sit in front of you at 5 or 10 mph below it while you're trying to get to work, on a 2-lane road.
• Situation #4:  Conversely, people who ignore the speed limit and tailgate you even though you're already going 5-10 mph over.  Can't you tell that I'm pregnant?  Or have small children in the car with me?  Or both?  GET OFF OF ME!
• Situation #5:  People who don't use turn signals.  Really, people, how hard is it?  It's RIGHT THERE BESIDE YOUR LEFT HAND.  Use it!
• Situation #6:  Finally, those people who rush through a stop sign  JUST SO they can turn out in front of me in my neighborhood, and then have to go straight at the light that exits it.  Don't you see me sitting behind you, stuck waiting, with no traffic coming, but unable to turn right on red because you just had to pull out in front of me?  What is WRONG with you?

Wow.  I think I could go on, but I should probably stop here, before I make myself look even worse.

3. Would you rather have a housekeeper or unlimited spa services?
My initial inclination is the spa services, but I probably wouldn't have enough time for that.  If the housekeeper would have dinner ready when I got home from work, too, then I think s/he gets my vote.

4. Is there a song that you hear that will take you back to the moment, like a junior high or high school dance?
Quite possibly, but this question just took me instead to a "my-life-just-flashed-before-my-eyes" style flashback of all of the junior high/high school dances I ever attended, and now I can't think of anything else.  Unfortunately.

5. What song best represents your life right now?
Is there a song about losing all ability to focus on anything or make any kind of decision because you can't put two cohesive thoughts together?  If so, then that's it.
